Best political line of the day

The headline over John Fund's piece in yesterday's WSJ.com about Bill Richardson dropping out of the nomination for Commerce Secretary, because he was allegedly involved in pay-for-play (i.e., political shakedowns [see also Blagojevich]) as Governor of New Mexico: "Richardson Bows Out; He can always resume his baseball career."

I laughed and laughed.

If you don't get the joke, let me refresh your memory: A few years back, it was revealed that Bill Richardson's story of having been drafted to play professional baseball, a story which he had been telling for 40 years, was a lie.
